Chicago White Sox

Thinking about this some…just don’t see how a retool would work. The challenge in my mind is we only have Cease & Kopech for another three years and Vaughn for another four years. As such, you’d have to get major league ready players for whatever you trade away at the deadline or the timing just won’t work out as most of our minor league reinforcements are a year or two out at minimum. Not sure what the answer is here. I’d love to see a shakeup with the coaching staff before even considering selling, but that’s obviously not happening until the off-season if ever. My guess is Jerry going to force Hahn to stick with this sinking ship and not make any changes until the off-season regardless. Things could get really ugly down the stretch if the team is this team is 10 games or so out at the deadline and does nothing.

I‘m old enough to remember when we thought this was one of the best teams in baseball before our lifeless, 80 year manager sucked its heart & soul away.

Just need to send everyone down to AAA to relearn how to hit effectively after working with Menechino ?

Looks like Menechino works fast! What a stupid fucking call-up!

Fully agree. Most of these guys are obviously talented, but their approaches just seem poor / outdated. No team should prioritize hitting fly balls more than a team full of 1B / DH types who play at the Rate and yet even our sluggers pound the ball into the ground like crazy. It seems like a change at hitting coach would reap immediate benefits, but these clowns seem 100% committed to Menechino.

Let’s fire Menechino and see how Robert looks.

Time to send him to Birmingham.

Robert can play defense which doesn’t get “figured out”.

Oh a “righty”…yeah gonna be tough to string together a couple hits against one of those. And unfortunately Menechino’s got some serious blackmail on someone and incapable of being fired.

I’m on the road and unable to watch, but can someone explain to me how we only have one hit so far?

I think Vera could potentially jump those guys by year end, but rightfully or wrongly I punished him some for a lack of full season innings.

With promotions starting to occur and the major league team disappointing like crazy, I thought putting together top 10 prospect lists would be a fun distraction. Here is my top 10 list: Colson Montgomery, SS* Oscar Colas, OF* Lenyn Sosa, 2B Bryan Ramos, 3B Norge Vera, RHP Wes Kath, 3B* Sean Burke, RHP Jose Rodriguez, SS/2B Christian Mena, RHP Matthew Thompson, RHP One note but I really struggled with that #10 spot. To me, the top 9 is firmly established, but you could make an argument for a half a dozen guys at #10. Cespedes & Romy were top 10 guys coming into the year, but aren’t deserving based on their seasons so far. Then you got Yogurt who put up great contact heavy numbers in AA, but has slowed down since moving to AAA. Additionally, an older kid like Simas may be more worthy than Thompson, but I haven’t had the chance to see him pitch this year. Ultimately, Matthew’s secondary numbers aren’t great, but he’s improved vs. 2021 and is a more exciting prospect than the other guys in this range that I’m more familiar with.

I’ll take it! 3-1 Sox!

Get him in Andrew!

Love Sosa!

This has to be an all-time low in terms of game-thread followers.

Great start for Martin (9 K, 1H, 0 R, 4 IP) and solid start for Dalquist (4 K, 1 BB, 1 R, 4 IP).

Wow, hit home runs, score some runs…go figure

Has Sheets played every game since being recalled? Feels that way, but I’m not it’s not the case.

Really wish we could have somehow locked up Cease.

Honestly, getting swept by a bad team sucks, but look at all the pitching matchups. We should have won three of four minimum. This offense sucks a giant you know what right now and a lack of talent only explains part of it. We don’t have a single player with 10 HRs right now and it’s June 26th. Only two other teams don’t have a player with 10 HRs in the Tigers & A’s, who are two of the worst six teams in all of baseball. How is that fucking possible? We have gone from 3rd to 19th to 26th in total HRs in the three seasons under Menechino despite most of the same talent. Yes, injuries have played a part here, but when the entire team has seen a massive reduction in power in such a short period of time and significant increase in groundball rate it’s very clear this goes beyond pure talent and is at least somewhat approach related. There are so many people responsible for this shit show, but the reality is there one non player who is an easy sacrifice and that’s Menechino. I’m sure he’s a great guy who works hard, but whatever he’s doing is not working and it’s time to see if someone else can get through to these guys. How much of an impact it would make remains to be seen, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result and right now that’s exactly what we’re doing by retaining Menechino as hitting coach.

What a stupid fucking dinosaur

Come on kid…do something here.

Not sure that will change anything. Hahn & La Russa will just use the injury excuse to escape any blame.

Just give Sosa a shot to do something
